Issue Position: Combating Lorain County Drug Overdoses

Issue Position

Sadly, Northeast Ohio families have witnessed first-hand the tragic effects of the state's drug epidemic. This is a problem our local law enforcement are fighting every day, but what many don't know is that there are drugs available that have the power to reverse opioid-related overdoses. Gayle Manning led the charge in creating a pilot project in Lorain County to study if putting this tool into the hands of law enforcement can save lives in our community and give those involved a second chance at life. Gayle will continue to work with local (communities/law enforcement/etc.) experts on how to combat drug overdoses as well as support rehabilitation centers that are crucial to helping those in our community.
